4 Easy Tips To Wakeboard | Lesson 1

If you're new to the sport and want to learn how to wakeboard, then these 4 steps will help you a lot.
1. Relax
2. Bend your knees
3. Keep your arms straight
4. Let the boat pull you up

On top of this, a top tip I have is to go to a wakeboard club/school as an instructor will be able to give you some really good advice which will speed up the learning process. Another advantage is they will have all the necessary gear which includes:
- wakeboard
- bindings
- rope
- boat

I really hope this video helps you to learn wakeboarding quickly and without any bad crashes!

Thanks so much for watching.

What would be awesome, is a video of how to *pull* a wake-boarder. How fast to accelerate etc

[ivantwopairs]

That rear view filming is really helpful and smart!

[mattcarlson]

Awesome instruction! We all started out as beginners in wakeboarding and hopefully this gets more people trying it! 🙌

[lilljunior]

Can you make a video 📼 what the driver has to do for a better experience. What is the idea of a wake / small 🌊 wave.. Or no wake is better? Driver setting

Thanks, David. I learned that if I look down, I'll go down.

[EvilCoffeeCompany]

Yeah David! The perfect rundown, basically everything we also tell first-timers who are trying to get up behind the boat. Hope all is well man, stay rad 🤘

[MrChoww]

Very helpful! Went out for my first time and got up on the second try!

[Mrfalconsarebeast]

Love the videos man. I’m starting to wake board now, keep the videos coming lol

[TheChicowoodson]

Its been 10 years since i last went wakeboarding. Im 36 and went today....ugghhh im tired. Had to use the pontoon but it worked😂

[nikothssn]

Nice video. I've been wakeboarding for years and I get up easily every time but I always come out of the water with the foot forward that I usually ride with the best. But I've tried many times to get out of the water like you do here straight side ways and that's definitely way harder to do. Even after years of wakeboarding I still haven't truly been able to. Maybe its cause of an under powered boat perhaps?

[mooniiia]

Great video, too bad I didn't come across such an instructor the first time. maybe someday I will dare to try it again 🙂

[benns]

Cant believe you dont have a spotter on the boat bro.. cowboys R Us

[ianblaze]

Same - surf, skate and snowboard would usually have dominate foot at the back. Is it the other way round on a wakeboard or did he just ge mixed up😊

[liambo]

Confused by the stance bit here..I thought your strong foot always went to the back?
I'm right footed so have regular stance in surfing/ orthodox in boxing (with my right foot at the back)..do you put your strong foot forward in wakeboarding?

[movitiate]

my dad has a pretty old boat whitout a tower on it so its really hard to progress. the wake of the boat isn't that big ether. u got any tips in progressing my flips and airtime?

[smiffywakeboarding]

I’m a cable boarder and found the drag getting up behind a boat was an immense pull on my hands/grip. What am i doing wrong?

[heltoch]

Because of your video series I was able to take my first ride on the wakeboard this weekend. Using your process I got up first try!

[andresserrano]

Im the first, please review my backroll😅
